caption_attribution_description: English: Holiday Camp Gets Going Again- Everyday Life at a Butlin's Holiday Camp, Filey, Yorkshire, England, UK, 1945 In the sunshine, campers stage a march past and salute the 'Lord High Admiral of the Filey Swimming Pool' (standing on a chair under an umbrella or parasol) during a morning Physical Training session at Butlin's Holiday Camp, Filey. PT is popular with the campers and is led by Captain Bond, an ex-Army PT instructor. According to the original caption, "it is part of the fun that such eminent personages as the Admiral, or a comic Roman Centurion, or the King of the Cannibal Isles takes the salute each morning".
context_page_description: Filey Holiday Camp was a Butlin's holiday camp near Filey, North Yorkshire, England, built for Billy Butlin's holiday organisation. Construction of the camp began in 1939. From 1939 to 1945, the camp was used as a military training base, as RAF Hunmanby Moor.
  The camp was served by its own railway branch and station from 1947, and then closed in 1977 due to greater car ownership. The camp closed in 1983. The railway station still remains today, however it is on private land.
  The site of the camp was replaced by Primrose Valley holiday park, and the adjacent "The Bay Filey" holiday resort. The boating lake was filled in and is now a large green area with a central path through it from the holiday park to the beach.
